Constructed in 1916, the Ghirardelli Square Clock Tower became an iconic symbol of the square and was among several buildings there selected for inclusion in the National Register of Historical Places. For many years, it housed the original Ghirardelli Chocolate Factory whistle, which blew as a farewell to factory family members sailing by on ocean liners and as a salute to ships deployed for World Wars I and II and the Korean War.
